MD - not to change the topic, but how far up the cartridge ladder would you need to go to get a "real" difference in killing power? 30-06 with 180s or 200s? 35 Whelen with 250s? 375 H&H with 270s?
It seems we all try awful hard to make this cartridge better than that one, when really most all of the .25 - .30 centerfire cartridges work about the same :-)
